A Busy First Day

My first day in London was loaded with exciting adventures, including a visit to the British Museum, a tour of Westminster Abbey, a ride on the London Eye, and a guided Ghost Tour of the city. Perhaps what has impressed me most about this city is the cleanliness. While Rome was beautiful, it was also full of litter and garbage. The London streets, including the alleys, are nearly pristine. The entire city has a very classy feel to it, achieved by the cleanliness, the overall grandeur of the architecture, and the well-manicured gardens.
